Neville Lancelot Goddard was born to Joseph Nathaniel Goddard and Wilhelmina Goddard, the fourth of ten children.
Adjudication: Wikipedia and Broome's biography independently converge on the specific date February 19, 1905, both citing added biographical detail (parents' names, birth order) beyond a bare year. The other three sources give only the year 1905, consistent with but less precise than the dated sources -- they are not wrong, just vaguer, so they remain valid corroborating claims rather than refuted ones.
Place: St. Michael, Barbados
Person: Neville Goddard
Ruling: accepted (all claims kept), Rudi 2026-07-23
Confirmed by primary document: Neville's own Petition for Naturalization (Section 701, Nationality Act of 1940) gives his birth date as 19 February 1905 and his birthplace as Barbados, British West Indies.
A 1927 Atlanta Municipal Opera press caption (article node 4024) describes Neville as 'half Scotch, half Spanish' -- almost certainly journalistic embellishment for a dance-team bio; it conflicts with Neville's own stated ancestry (Scotch, English and Irish, forefathers from Cornwall; hist_event 18887) and is not adopted as fact.
The source identifies his parents as Joseph Nathaniel Goddard and Wilhelmina Hinkson and the family home as Sunnyside, Fontabelle.
The family record identifies Neville as the son of Joseph Nathaniel Goddard and Wilhelmina Ellis Hinkson and lists nine named siblings.
Neville says his mother recalled his birth at 9:15 Sunday night while church bells were ringing and believed he had been sent to do God's work.
Broome describes Neville as the fourth son in a family of nine boys and one girl.
